CryptoallertCoinbase price alerts
Looking for a custom price alert in the Coinbase app? According to Coinbase, those are no longer available. You can get automatic alerts on big moves. Here’s how that works, and how to still get alerts at a price or percentage you choose.
Price alerts in the Coinbase app
In the app, go to Settings → Notifications → Price Alerts. Choose push notifications on your phone or in-app alerts only. Coinbase then automatically alerts you on large price swings over short periods, but only for assets on your watchlist.
- Add the coins you want to follow to your watchlist.
- Go to Settings → Notifications → Price Alerts.
- Choose push notifications or in-app alerts.
What you can’t set
A custom price ("alert when ETH goes above €4,000") or your own percentage and time window can no longer be set on Coinbase. Coinbase decides when a move is big enough.
